Axis Spine and Orthopedics | Speciali

Physical Therapist Assistant | One-on-one Private Practice

Specialized Physical Therapy is searching for an experienced part- or full-time Missouri licensed physical therapy assistant to join our team at our growing private practice. We are a privately owned orthopedic physical therapy office working alongside an orthopedic surgeon, a nurse practitioner, and three therapists. We see a variety of orthopedic patients with an emphasis on spine. Our office strives to provide quality care, not quantity.

Our appointments are mostly scheduled for 45 minutes, one-on-one, and we make time to perform manual therapy rather than running patients through exercises with minimal supervision. We have full access to the medical staff in regards to our patient’s care and are able to communicate any concerns directly with the physician rather than someone at a front desk. Our patients appreciate this communication immensely and feel that they are being taken care of as a whole.

An ideal candidate is energetic, motivated, and rewarded by putting a smile on our patients’ faces. We emphasize growth by meeting monthly and teaching and learning from one another. We welcome new ideas and appreciate independent thinkers. We’re a fun group and are excited to welcome a new, enthusiastic member.

Perks:
We work very closely with an orthopedic surgeon and will have opportunities to observe injections and surgeries at our brand-new surgery center in midtown St. Louis.

• Physical Therapy Assistant degree from an accredited school with an active Illinois license
• CPR certified (recommended)
• Manual therapy skills is a plus
